(Harleen Kaur, Intern Journalist) New Delhi, India has strongly objected to Pakistan’s act of granting Gilgit Baltistan the status of the fifth province. India has bluntly asked Pakistan to move out of the areas it has illegally occupied. On Sunday, the Indian Foreign Ministry has strongly opposed the announcement by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan to grant province status to Gilgit Baltistan.
Slave Kashmir our integral part
Ministry spokesman Anurag Shrivastava said that India rejected Pakistan’s attempt to change the status of any of its territories. All regions of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are and will remain integral to us. These include Ghulam Kashmir. The Pakistan government has no authority over these illegally occupied areas. The deceit of Pakistan cannot hide its acts of human rights violations in these areas.
Pakistan should vacate the area
Srivastava said that changing the situation in these areas is better than Pakistan immediately get out of its illegal occupied areas. Pakistan has also announced to hold assembly elections in Gilgit Baltistan to deceive the world. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court of Pakistan allowed the government to hold elections in the region. Following this decision, India lodged an objection with a senior Pakistani diplomat.
Trying to change the situation is not acceptable
Srivastava said that attempts by Pakistan to manipulate the region could deprive people of independence for more than seven decades. Since Jammu and Kashmir joined the Indian Union in 1947, the entire territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh as well as the so-called Gilgit Baltistan is legally an integral part of India. Pakistan cannot crush the human rights of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan. No attempt by Pakistan to change the condition of these Indian regions will be tolerated …
Nefarious act of Pakistani army
Actually, the army is working on making the Gilgit Baltistan area in Pakistan the fifth state of the country. According to the report of the news, the population ratio is being changed by settling outsiders there. It is believed that China is working behind this conspiracy of Pakistan. In recent times, reports of China Pakistan’s various efforts against India have also come out.
Fear of confrontation between the two countries
At such a time when India has already made it clear that no attempt to change the situation of slave Kashmir can be accepted. This decision by Imran Khan has raised the possibility of a confrontation between India and Pakistan. Recently the Government of Pakistan has also announced to hold elections there. India also strongly criticized Pakistan’s move.
This is why Imran’s government is restless
There are many reasons for Imran Khan’s uneasiness over Gilgit Baltistan. Recently Saudi Arabia has excluded slave Kashmir from the map of Pakistan. On the other hand, his government is also facing strong opposition in the area. Demonstrations started there with the rumor of making Gilgit Baltistan a province. On October 8, there were massive protests led by the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front and the Student Liberation Front to protest the decision.
